In today’s issue of Command Line, I reported that ByteDance has been violating the developer license of both Microsoft and OpenAI by using GPT-generated data to train its own, competing model in China. After my report was published, OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix sent the following statement confirming that ByteDance’s account has been suspended: As I reported, most of ByteDance’s GPT usage has been done through Microsoft’s Azure platform, not through OpenAI directly. I’ve asked Microsoft if it will follow OpenAI and suspend ByteDance’s access as well.
I used the AI to TRAIN the AI!
People use compilers to compile compilers, or just generally computers to design computer hardware, all the time. It’s not so strange.
I thought it was almost entirely the point to automate stuff. We have a great tool to automate the automation.
We have the idea of a great tool. Right now we’re kind of square wheeling our way through it.
I prefer the term bumblefucking, but ok, square-wheeling.
It’s AI’s all the way down!
